          @HomeAlone: I see, thanks for the info. The cards' RRPs are actually below their actual cost price, lol. I have always used the lowest priced, in stock/available item for comparison if the specific model isn't available, which I think makes sense. There are no reference AMD cards available for individual sale from what I know, and any system featuring one is always going to be well above what we're charging. PCPP is always slightly imperfect in any case and we're not directly competing with the DIY price, just using it as a point of reference.

            The reference cards were meant to be a limited release and they sold out at launch, but AMD confirmed couple weeks ago that due to popular demand they will now produce them indefinitely so we should expect to see a restock soon.

            PLE already has the reference RX 6800 in stock at the $949 RRP.

    The 3080, hands down. Nvidia has the better driver, much faster Raytracing performance and DLSS. Once the supply issues end for both vendors, the new Radeon cards simply aren’t competitive at the price. I hope AMD comes around and competes with Nvidia on price. A 6800 XT for the price of a 3070 would be much more competitive.

    Because the 6800XT beats both of those cards in the majority of games? Sure there's DLSS, but there's only a few games that use it. Plus the consoles use the same architecture, so developers will make their games work better on the 6800/6900 series as it matches the consoles (their main income stream)

    • 

      piston3461 on 30/12/2020 - 17:28

      Beats a 3070 sure , but performance with a 3080 is basically the same. DLSS is in the biggest games of this year and will only be in more , unless they’re AMD sponsored titles. It’s a pretty big draw card . Your second point is interesting though , could be a big factor however I doubt it will make as much of a difference as DLSS does

        AMD have fidelityfx cas which can provide similar performance boosts and image quality to dlss. We'll have to wait and see how many Devs will implement either option into their games, but given that fidelityfx is meant to be open source, I'm hoping it will implemented by more devs.

      The 6800XT is between the 3070 and 3080. The 6900XT is between the 3080 and 3090. The 3070ti and 3080ti will be their direct competitors.

    If I’m paying over a grand for a card with ray tracing touted as its biggest feature, then I want proper ray tracing (no dlss) at over 60fps 1440p minimum. However, not even a 3080 can adequately achieve this. That basically tells me ray tracing simply isn’t ready at this current gen.

    I managed to get a reference 6800 for $949 which is rrp. At that price without ray tracing the 6800 handily beats the 3070 while coming extremely close to the 3080 but for several hundreds less.

      Bad marketing, nvidia should just advertise dlss as the main talking point

      When a 6800xt runs the most anticipated game of the year at the same level of a 3060 ti, you have to question whether amd is really still relevant

        if you are referring to cyberpunk - they just haven't optimized the game for AMD yet - with how far they are with other issues this will take a while but performance in that game has nothing to do with the card itself - AMD cards will beat 3080 in price and performance (minus rtx which I would turn off like I do with AA) - its literally $500 more for Nvidia atm

            ppl just read Dlss, RTX and think…I need that yes…but you really dont
            in truth you really dont need a card better then 1080ti atm, you can play any game 1440 p at 50-60 fps easy, high setting, the extra you get from spending 2-3k is hardly noticeable

                @ln28909: Fidelity FX Cas is literally contrast based: "Contrast Adaptive sharpening", hence why the higher % on the scale the brighter the image looks.
                It's definitely no comparison to DLSS as DLSS lowers the native res and upscales through AI, that being said there are still minimal games that support it and even less games support RT, when you take those into account and AMD's Rasterization performance benefits, majority of the time the AMD card is the better pick. 0 point future proofing for features like RT when it's clear the RT cores aren't making leaps and bounds and youd be better off saving money this year and buying the better performing card when RT is actually where it needs to be.

                Do not buy Nvidia cards for RT, DLSS is another story and since 2.0 it's been a major selling point, just bad marketting is the issue because Nvidia know they are behind on rasterization performance, hence the push for RT. One thing to note though, DLSS isn't magic the picture quality is noticeably degraded, especially textures at a distance. Even the Gamers Nexus LTT, and Hardware Unboxed vids mention that there is noticeable degradation if not in the direct comparison videos you'll hear it at least 1 out of 3 times they use DLSS.

                Asking why the 3060ti performs better than the 6800 is just plain silly(and without DLSS it most definitely does not), in almost every other game you see the 6800 ahead of the 3070. If it's behind with DLSS off then it's on CDPR to fix.

                  @MahyarJ: Benchmarks aside, if you compare the two hardware's of nvidia and amd cards it's not hard to see which one is better, and much cheaper.
                  If stocks weren't an issue I dare say amd would be more popular this round
                  Only issue most ppl have is if they bought expansive monitors with gsync,
                  Dlss and rt are not important for most ppl, if they know it or not I doubt it but
                  You can't have rtx and Dlss on and play say competitive multiplayer games

                    @botchie: Definitely not, if you use DLSS and RT for Competitive games, then you're using it wrong, Cyberpunk 2077 is a perfect example of when RT and DLSS are done right and to be honest not sure if any competitive games even have DLSS if there are any the list is slim.

                    I also forgot to mention AMD have already said they're releasing a DLSS competitor, so that kinda Negates the DLSS argument, but again really depends on how well it's implemented and how long AMD actually take to release it (but going on History with AMD's implementations of features they definitely hit the mark more than Nvidia), if they can time it well with normalised stock levels, then Nvidia are in for an Intel-like 2021-2022.
                    Also the crap they pulled with our own Hardware Unboxed really doesn't help their case in any way.

                      it's not that Nvidia is losing in rasterization, it's that rasterization is not enough anymore, like a 3090 can't even get playable at 4k on cyberpunk so you need to innovate and find other ways, I like to see AMD do some innovation in the gpu space instead of just copying nvidia

                        "innovative ways" just FYI DLSS 1 was a trainwreck, not very innovative, and if it wasn't for the outrage at how crap it actually was Nvidia wouldn't have touched it.

                        Don't feed into the brainwash that Nvidia feed you, Just because a game is released that pushes current GPU's to the limits, doesn't mean that rasterization isn't enough Wait till next years 4080 that will run it @ 4k60 without DLSS, I'd like to point out that even with RT set to ultimate in Cyberpunk, you're still using polygons/rasterization for anything other than Shadows, Reflections and Lighting.

                        Nvidia is most definitely losing in rasterization, that's why they had the whole kefuffle with Hardware unboxed because "they didn't show enough RT benchmarks" which is the only place that Nvidia lead in price/perf, and only really back-tracked because Linus lost his shit.

                        Just for reference on "innovative" Nvidia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DLSS_suppor…
                        Also another for games with Real time Ray Tracing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_ray_tracing…

                        At the end of the day, all these companies want is your money, go with whatever brings the best value to you, and don't feed into what they tell you, see real time benchmarks (not auto benchmarking tools), and see what you want for yourself.
                        I'm a 1440p@144 gamer myself so DLSS and RT really mean nothing to me so AMD is definitely the better buy.

                        They charge more in the CPU space because their CPU's are better?
                        and their GPU's are priced accordingly. except the 6900XT, which when you compare it to the 3090 again seems a bargain.

                          @MahyarJ: Well everyone seems to be amd fan boy these days, someone needs to on nvidia side

                          I hope you'll still be able to enjoy your game a year from now withban amd card

                          A failed attempt is expected with any innovation, if you don't believe that then there is nothing i can say

                          By the time new cards come out the limit would have been raised lol

                          People with 3070 and 3060 ti buying amd cpu makes me laugh, what a waste a money, if you're on a budget don't bother with amd

                          6900xt, memes, only reason for its existence is that 3080 are not in stock

                            @ln28909: I mean, it's a well known fact that AMD cards age better haha, usually cause they have more VRAM and their Drivers are never great at launch, but I've heard they're working on it and when the 6000 series finally actually have stock, we'll know for sure if it's not gonna be another 5000 series debacle.
                            I can link some videos and articles if need be, but it's definitely a known fact.

                            If you look at the Market share, everyone is an Nvidia fanboy, but you're on Ozbargain, people want bargains and AMD provides that most of the time.

                            In a years time a new game will come out that will conk out a 3090's RT cores and you'll need a 4090, it's a common occurence, maybe you're just new to this. Buying the best card this year pretty much guarantee's you'll be heartbroken next year, check out the poeple who purchased a 2080ti….
                            Being beaten by the 3070 at less than half the price?
                            I might add, the performance gains in RT from Turing to Ampere were minimal, the gains you see are generally because the improved rasterization performance and coincide directly with the % gains when compared side by side RT on vs RT off - Ampere/Turing. So we don't even know if we'll ever really see RT mature at least not until we see what the 3rd gen cores bring.

                            3060ti and 3070 with an AMD CPU is literally perfectly ok, so you obviously don't know what you're talking about
                            Go do some research before you embarrass yourself some more.
                            Open your eyes please, stop being a hard fan boy and realise all Nvidia want is your money.
                            The fact that your fanboyism has pushed into actually talking down their CPU's which have proven themselves for 2 generations now is enough for me.
                            I'm done just like I was done with Nvidia when they had the audacity to think they could talk for 'gamers'. Good day to you, maybe one day your eyes will open up haha!

                              @MahyarJ: Why does everyone brings rt up everytime, I literally never say anything about rt in my discussion

                              And historical data is sometimes irrelevant, look at it now amd 5000 vpus are all out of stocks while being worse value than the intel counterpart

                              Find me a better deal on amd than their competitors rn, or within the past 30 days that is readily available, I dare you

                              You should also consider research before saying 5600x is good for 3060 ti or 3070, I wouldn't even pair it with a 3080. The extra $300 that you could save from using intel is much better spend on upgrading the gpu, show me I'm wrong

                              Only respectable value from amd is the 5900x

                              Do you have any real life experience with any these btw, I went back to 3000 series after upgrading to 5000 series

    3070 is a tier slower than the 6800 or 6800XT.

  Small error in the part picker: for the 5900/6900 system in the partpicker you have 750W unit, in the description a 850W.
  The question is how the heck did you manage to get hands on 6900xt cards :-)

  •

    Depends on what you want to use it for. I personally wouldn't buy the 6900XT. It's overpriced. The 3080 is a much better deal. So without knowing your purpose the 5900x and 3080 is the better combination.

      Hardcore gaming and premiere pro rendering. currently I am getting Ryzen 7 5800X | Galax RTX 3080 10GB for 2915 and would be around 500$ extra for Ryzen 9 5900X | RX 6900 XT.

        Premier Pro is more CPU intensive so the 5900x might give you slightly better results. However,I doubt it's optimised to take advantage of all the cores right now but that no doubt will change in the near future. DaVinci Resolve on the other hand is (especially the new version) takes advantage of a GPU. But I've seen some interesting benchmarks which show the AMD performing better. But you can't lose with either GPU but as I said my personal view is the 3080 is better.

• 

  GafnYtHeLoRd on 30/12/2020 - 18:50

  Is the 6800XT model not available without an AIO? Speaking of which, why is the 6800 one not listed with an AIO, even thought the CPU is the same?

  • 

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 30/12/2020 - 21:18

    +1

    The 6800 doesn't work the CPU as hard. Similar situation with 3080 vs 3070, with the 3080 we've found the 3600 benefits greatly from AIO cooling in testing but doesn't need it with the 3070. It is still recommended with 3070/6800, but we're not bundling it as a requirement.

• 

  camelthief on 30/12/2020 - 20:09

  Why you tempt me like this Techfast.

  Looking for an all Red build but 6800/6800XT is probably overkill for 1440p.

  Probably hang on until there is a 5600/6700XT build, but very tempting.

  Hi @luketechfast, thanks for your post (tempting!), for the motherboard do you reckon the B550 is best fit or I could also consider a X570? Kinda want a Wi-Fi flexibility.

  • 

    Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 31/12/2020 - 19:31

    There won't be a great deal of difference between the Gogabyte B550 and the base (entry level) X570 performancewise, but the WiFi X570 will be something like Asus Tuf or Aorus Elite so a decent step up plus the Wifi.

    From us, parts' manufacturer warranties will apply but not our assembled warranty if you pull apart. We assist with manufacturer warranties if they require the claim to go back through the place of purchase. You can also request it unassembled so you get the parts exactly as we get them. Enter SHIP UNASSEMBLED at checkout.

      MrTurkey on 03/01/2021 - 20:24

  I understand availability is an issue, but a 5600X instead of a 3600 would be a much better choice. Benchmarks I have seen show that the 5600 outperforms the 3600 by 20% or more. Would that be possible in the future for you guys to put together once supply issues are fixed?
